One of the biggest casualties of the global Covid-19 lockdowns are events like comic and anime conventions, because huge arenas filled with tens of thousands of people crammed in, hugging and shaking hands are a massive health risk. But that’s OK! We can still have cons on the internet.

First proposed by actors Paul Amos (Jacob in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate) and Batwoman’s Rachel Skarsten, some other folks with events experience have stepped in to help organise the con, which will take place April 10-11.

This will obviously be a very different kind of con, with no cosplay or merch booths or physical contact with friends. But these are weird and difficult times we’re living through, and conventions are living through them too.
